If you still have the iso file, burn it again with lower speed setting and a good brand of dvd media. Your dvd burner might also reach it's end of life ... -- vista policy violation: Microsoft optical mouse found penguin patterns on mousepad.

I will give that a shot. Hopefully you are correct. As far as the DVD burner reaching the end of its life... I hope not - as it has only burned 2 DVDs in it's life. :) Thanks for the suggestion!

I am going to burn it again, and see what happens this time. After that I am going to downgrade back to the 2006 I am currently using. Wish me luck! Carolyn -- Carolyn Marenger |
